Seeing as tree is from Old English and is a better choosing than beam in the framework (context), I feel that that was eftflowing (redundant).

eft-flowing = full of newts (?)

One big hurdle in the business of Anglish is how much "borrowing" to do from other Thiedish folks' tongues.

A good many of the borrowings & Thiedish-twinnings, methinks, are overmuch. While sometimes there are truly some gaping potholes in the path to find English-only likewords,nonetheless there are many English words in good stead that need no wending into half-Thiedish, or too much Thiedish. Often methinks less is more.

'Beam' could work in a few sayings as 'tree', but 'tree' already has life in English, and ought to likewise have life in Anglish.

With a little more delving in earnest, one might be struck by how many English words are Anglish-worthy (that is to say, Teuton enough as is) , without going the path of speech with overblown twinning.

Yet keep at it, Konungr!
For, even by tumbles and stumbles, we may go on ahead.

Cosh em easy like! Get more words out of em that way! But we must not be overeager.

Wisely said --- many are the wonder words in the mathomhouse of English. Look here in our own root dunge first, raid the neighbors' only when we're truly tharving, indeed starving for a word!

Weatherman is good Anglish, being come of old from weder, air, sky; breeze, storm, tempest + man, person. So, a person who deals in weather.

As for warmthmetel, I think that would be some thing that metes warmth. What the Frenchly inclined folks do call a "radiator".

For "thermometer", perhaps warmthgage; or better, one of those "thermometer-barometer-humidimeter" thingies, perhaps weathergage would suffice? Old English weder + Frankish galgo by way of Old French gauge.
